So, I am now madly in love with Uri Shulevitz's art work (and name - the author and illustrator are given made credit in our house and it is a fun name to say) and am going to request lots of his books from the library. As we are read SNOW in honor of our gray skies, our gray rooftops and our gray city turning wonderfully white this very evening.
(Picture of amazing "boy with dog" arriving tomorrow)
Notice that this dog is clearly outside - and is labeled as such by Mr. Ben. However, any dog inside a house and the first dog in Go Dog, Go is always "a cat." That is also fun:
"Go, Dog, Go by P.D. Eastman"
"A cat"
How does one explain the difference between a cat and dog?
This is subtle biology people.

pease porriage hot
Owl at Home is an inspirational book - we have enacted several of the stories.
Most recently, we performed "The Guest" where winter knocked on our door (did you hear the wind?), entered the house (because the heater broke), and when the heater was fixed we made delicious pea soup and hot buttered toast. YUM! Peas!
At my father's house, we often perform "Upstairs, Downstairs" where you try to be on both floors at once and get totally exhausted and sit in the middle.
And is it just me or does Arnold Lobel look just like Owl?
